Highlights

For commercials, my voice is believable, friendly, authoritative, warm. For narration, my voice is caring, intelligent, distinctive, and personable. For presentations, my voice is clean and confident. For animation, I have a wide range of character voices, from deep and dopey, to nervous and smart alecky. My voice has been likened to Peter Coyote, Donald Sutherland, Josh Lucas (TV's The Firm), and Morgan Freeman (for its folksiness and charm). My focus and drive is on providing powerful, professional voice overs quickly and easily. Great customer service and customer satisfaction are very important to me, and I have a blast working in this field, having made many personal connections with my colleagues. I have recently built a home studio.

Over the years some of the clients I have recorded ads for include: Nikon, Coca-Cola, TD Bank, RBC, RIM (Blackberry), YMCA, Canada's Credit Unions, Medieval Times, North Dakota tourism, and The Globe & Mail.
